§ 31. Mr. G. Thomasasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what reply he has sent to the memorandum submitted to him by the Industrial Association of Wales and Monmouthshire concerning the serious effects on industrial productivity in Wales and Monmouthshire caused by bad roads; and whether he will make a statement.
§ Mr. WatkinsonThis memorandum, which only reached me within the last week, is at present being examined.
§ Mr. ThomasWill the Minister give some urgent consideration to this matter, because the state of the roads is one of our major problems there? We look to the right hon. Gentleman for a considerable measure of help in this matter.
§ Mr. WatkinsonI certainly will, and, of course, I shall examine it myself.
